The late, renowned Austrian pianist Friedrich Gulda performs 2 Mozart Piano Sonatas. His first interpretation is of # 9, K.311 in D major followed by # 12, K.332 in F major. Gulda was most famous for his Mozart and Beethoven interpretations, although he also performed the music of J. S. Bach (often on clavichord), Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, Debussy and Ravel.
K.311 ~ Allegro con spirito Andante con espressione Rondeau (allegro) K. 332 ~Allegro Adagio Allegro assai
I remember Friedrich Gulda well, as a classmate taught the son of Gulda in piano playing... Gulda later in his career played a lot of jazz... great jazz!

String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135, written in 1826.
00:00 - I. Allegretto 06:22 - II. Vivace [Scherzo] 09:50 - III. Lento assai e cantante tranquillo 17:39 - IV. Grave ma non troppo tratto - Allegro ("Der schwer gefasste Entschluss")
Beethoven wrote the bulk of this, his final quartet, in a two-month burst of activity amid health problems and shortly after his nephew Karl attempted to commit suicide. But there's not a hint of self-pity or anguish in this compact, good-natured work. For Beethoven's valedictory composition, this quartet is surprisingly small-scaled, finding inspiration in the quartets of Beethoven's one-time teacher Haydn.
🎹 Francesco Piemontesi 🎹 Herbert Blomstedt ▫ conductorPROGRAMME: W.A. Mozart: Piano Concerto in B major KV 595 Franz Schubert: Symphony no 8, D944
Performed live at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg on December 11th, 2020.
A great orchestra with a great soloist... but to me this si a "Herbie show" first and foremost. It is always quite mesmerizing to watch Maestro Blomstedt, still very much on top of his game - he is currently the oldest active conductor in the world at 93 years of age. And conducting Schubert´s "Die Große C-Dur" from memory, of course ! 🤍
